Top pick: #2 (QUINETTE) (3-1) - Veteran mare has won eight times, and the rest of this field has a combined seven. Stalker loves racing on real dirt (12-7-2-1), and she's a perfect two for two locally. In shape and she gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Sagebrush Queen) (4-1) - Lightly raced, she just missed here on Feb. 6th in an entry-level allowance for fellow Cal-breds, and has been working fast since. Bejarano is aboard for the first time, and this grey 4yo is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Sea John's Spirit) (4-1) - Mare is from the same barn as "Quinette" (Ron Ellis), and will be trying winners for the first time. 6yo is back in shape following a long layoff (19 months), and she looked sharp in her maiden win here Jan. 25th.
4th pick: #4 (Twelve Folds) (9-2) - Speedy mare tired after chasing a fast pace on Feb. 23rd in her first back from a half-year's absence. She loves this course (9-2-3-3), and should be involved from start-to-finish.
